The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.9%.

The JSDF 5ian economy, worth 372 trillion Yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming.
